Hello! I am using reainstert vst on the master track in Reaper, I have sound.. signal.. vu meters of the master track show signal, I can hear the Scope VST through which I am sending and returning, all works fine, except that when I try rendering with the reainstert vst on the master track of reaper, it is 0 signal.. even though I hear everything ok.

Picture attached.. I have the reainstert vst sends and returns on channels 7 and 8 for the dna stereo comp.

Scope plugins are not processed by the PC. if you render offline, how can the computer know what is happening on the card?
to make this work, you would need to do a real time render, or better yet, just record the mix into a new stereo track.

Thank you for the reply. I am still struggling with this.. I am trying to use Reainsert (vst to send and receive from external devices) to send from some of the tracks recorded in Reaper to some of the Scope VSTs. On the guitar track I want to try Vinco because it brings out very nice round and sweet harmonics (at least to my ears).. on one of the drum tracks I want to use the Master Verb Classic and so on.. after that I need them all back in Reaper and on the master track to have the dNa Stereo Compressor. All of them sound good in that way that I put them, just that no sound on rendering.. I tried your advice to create a new track and record using it.. the sound there does not seem to have enough volume nor that it goes through the Scope VSTs... help!!

well, you need to think about what you are trying to do. exactly what audio are you trying to record? you want to send that audio to a stereo track in Reaper.

the main mix out of the Reaper mixer is probably what you want to record, what ASIO outputs do you send that to?

whatever output that is, connect it to the ASIO destination's open pair of inputs. make that ASIO channel the input of the stereo track that you are trying to record. be sure that monitoring of that track is off in Reaper. it will record exactly the level coming out of Reaper. this is one thing that is useful about a mixer like the STM 2448.since it has a control room out and a mix out, you can turn down your monitors without turning down the recording.

1st ... you might have a routing problem in Reaper, but we cannot see here when you show just only the SCOPE environment screenshot.

In addition, your description is irritating.
A "VST" is a DLL-file.
SCOPE VSTs are only in use when you use XTC mode, otherweise they are SCOPE devices.
Both the usage of SCOPE standalone and XTC mode require different routings/projects.
I´ve read your posts above, but for me, it´s not clear what you´re really doing or trying to achieve.

You should tell the forumites more,- which Reaper version you´re using and which SCOPE (v5.1 or v7) ...

Thank you for the advice, Gary. I will need to get familiarized with that STM 2448 and its functionalities. It seems to be different from the 1632.. I never used a control room. I used very simple environments, and even my Reaper projects are not complex.. I never created BUS tracks or used routing to access external devices. Suddenly it hit me to do so.. I had no Master track recorded.. I just recorded the tracks individually and at the end, render.. aaaand that is how I obtained a song. It is plain stupid and wrong and I need to get more professional about this, and this is what I am trying to do now: to establish a very good studio environment and to get as complex as possible while keeping the things very simple and efficient.
Bud, sorry for irritating with my way of expressing the things, for me, the Scope devices act like the plugins and that is why I described things like that.
I am using Scope V7 for the old PCI cards (Pulsar, Luna..) and Reaper 5.33. What I was trying to record was indeed the master track that would have been the mix of all the tracks after they get routed through the Scope plugins.
I was sending the Master track of Reaper through channels 7 and 8 to the dNa StereoComp and getting things back through that again since on top of it I had also some other VSTs in Reaper. It sounds good, but I am not doing things right. I attached a picture of the master fx here.. I did this with all the tracks that use the routing through Scope plugins using their associated asio in and outs. Still trying things here. Thank you!

I made it as you recommended me, Gary. I now have a very easy way to record the master track in Reaper. Now I am trying to go one step further and use the 2448 mixer and I dont know why my aux send is not working. It shows nothing on vu meters or in the Scope plugings in which I try to insert.
Any idea?
